Most of the changes for 1.6 were minor (just a lot of them), or background stuff. The cache and speed improvements, as well as fixed super seeding was probably the biggest stuff.

Question here...downloaded the standalone v1.6, so do I just overwrite the shortcut exe on my desktop for it to work or do I have to delete everything in %AppData%?
